Principles for assessing online discussions and other conversations (blogs, chat, etc.) by coherence, awareness of audience, and diction. Writing for asynchronous discussion isn't the same as writing an essay, and the author argues that students who simply post essays to the discussion board should receive good grades.

Observations from the beginning of a high school project with Ning, Animoto, and Flickr. Most of the insight is around how Ning facilitates conversations between students and lets the teacher join the discussion. Students are engaged with Ning; they are personalizing their spaces and giving each other constructive feedback.

One of the founders of Flickr writes about building online community. One of his big points is that if you create too many hard and fast rules, people are less creative and open to conversation. It's better to build community by providing spaces for people to negotiate the guidelines for themselves as much as possible.

Dave Ferguson explains at the end of this post his "three links out" idea. You read a post on one of your regular blogs, then click a link (1). From there, click another link (2). From that place, click a third link (3). This brings you outside your regular circle of reading so you're explosed to new people and ideas. Seems like a good lifelong learning technique.

George Siemens further explores the idea of a world without courses in 3 areas: 1. Content
2. Conversations and Connections
3. Reputation and Accreditations
This would be a real revolution in learning and education, and it's intriguing to imagine the possibilities even if it is (as Siemens admits) very speculative.

If you're not getting comments on your blog, these might be some of the reasons. If you sound like a press release, infomercial, or know-it-all, people won't join the conversation. Create the right atmosphere, show people how to comment, and make it clear you want conversation, and you might get more comments.
